Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the plaiting materials are solely vegetable origin (e.g

willow) via supplier certificates to avoid reclassification to plastics under Chapter 39

Provide photos and material specs in entry docs; common pitfall is mislabeling as 'wicker furniture' which shifts to Chapter 94

Ensure no metal reinforcements exceeding minor parts to stay in 4602; bulk imports may need phytosanitary certificates
